“Greed”. Certainly one of the most commonly misapplied & misunderstood concepts in use today. Let’s have a look.
First off, here is what greed is NOT: “Wanting more or better.” If this was so, then you could safely accuse ¾ of the planet of “being greedy”, which would be neither fair nor accurate. So, what then is a better definition?
Greed: “Wanting more or better than you can use.”
The simple fact is that the truly greedy are easy to spot, for they are not only selfish & irresponsible, but impractical as well.
So, if you ever find yourself feeling guilty for wanting more or better, remember this definition, and perhaps you can “check yourself before you wreck yourself”. 🙂
